Yoga means union, that in your experience, everything has become one.
A guru is not a crutch, he is a bridge.
You do not have to pursue something intensely; you as a being should become very intense.
If you did not have any personality, you would have a tremendous presence. The more rigid your personality, the more constipated your whole being.
Devotion means who you are should merge with what you are doing. Otherwise, whatever your activity may be, it will not be of any great significance.
If you think you are big, you will become small. If you are willing to become an absolute nothing, you will become larger than creation and Creator.
There is a region beyond reason. Unless you get there, you will not know the sweetness of love, nor the Divine.
For wealth to translate into wellbeing, you need a spiritual element within you. Without that, your success will work against you.
Devotion is not a concept, not a certain kind of ideology, not a certain kind of act, it is the agent of dissolution.
Making conclusions about life is a sure way to deny yourself the possibility of a human being transforming himself into the Divine.

Mental or spiritual health, which is rationality, makes for progress, and the future demands greater and greater mental or spiritual health, greater and greater rationality. The brain must dominate and direct both the individual and society in the time to come, not the belly and the heart.
Some other people think that awakened consciousness is really about fullness or presence, being completely present for every moment, but these experiences are only one of the dimensions of awakened consciousness.

I don't want to be looking inside my ego, my stuff, my achievements, my me, me, me, me, I hate that stuff. I just want to be out there eh to the last day of my life ah interested in the world, in causes, in helping other people. Um that doesn't mean that I don't have a spiritual practice, that I don't look at my own soul, that I don't prepare myself for the that transition that death is but I cannot sit in meditation to contemplate my navel for the rest of my life. That would be boring for me.
